According to the Financial Times, the U.S. Department of Justice has launched an antitrust lawsuit against Apple. The lawsuit accuses the tech giant of leveraging its smartphone market dominance to stifle competition and limit choices for consumers.

The action claims Apple has enforced contractual limitations on developers and obstructed users' ability to migrate to different devices, thereby hampering the development of new apps and services.

The focus of the lawsuit includes payment applications, messaging platforms, smartwatches, and game streaming services.

Apple has officially responded to the allegations, asserting that the lawsuit misrepresents the facts and the law. 
This lawsuit threatens who we are and the principles that set Apple products apart in fiercely competitive markets,
the company articulated.
